Le Noirmont

Le Noirmont is a mountain summit in the Jura range located on the border between Switzerland and France. The peak consists of limestone, which gives it a distinctive pale appearance.

The mountain has long functioned as a natural border marker between the two countries. This position on the state boundary made it a geographically significant point in the region.

Local communities gather annually near Le Noirmont for traditional festivals that celebrate mountain agriculture and the connected regional heritage.

Several hiking trails lead to the summit from La Cure and Les Rousses with clear markings and information boards along the way. Routes are well-signposted, allowing visitors to choose different approaches to reach the peak.

The summit offers views across both sides of the border, revealing the distinct landscapes of Switzerland and France. This cross-border perspective makes it a vantage point with special character.
